Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grants - Institute/Initiative Community Support

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney transplantation are associated with bone health disorders that can result in skeletal fragility and fractures. We are planning a one-day meeting that will bring together clinicians, researchers, and people with lived experience to explore strategies for advancing bone health research and improving the management of bone disease in individuals with CKD and kidney transplant recipients. The event will feature presentations and discussions aimed at fostering collaborations and identifying priorities for future research and clinical practice. This planning meeting will unite the Quebec Bone, CKD, and Transplant communities to form a new provincial network aimed at advancing innovation in assessment and management practices, defining research priorities that emphasize patient-centered outcomes, and enhancing knowledge translation to patients and healthcare professionals.
